INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

We are living in a world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam. Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register are no more !

 

There is another megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later, China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming block, overtaking North America.

 

The years after the outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in investment as well as private consumption expenditure.  Inflation remained at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent of young people joining the job market every year.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

 

Subject a public limited company is engaged primarily in the business of manufacturing of writing and printing (WANDP) paper and paper products.

 

 

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

 

OVERVIEW

 

The brief momentum gained by the global economy after the crisis of 2008 came to an end from the second half of calendar year (CY) 2011. Growth rates reduced across the world — even in hitherto rapidly growing economies such as China and India. The Euro Zone, which was never out of trouble, faced one crisis after the other, led by Greece and followed by Spain, with only Germany showing economic strength that was, alas, not enough to bolster the economy of the region. Even US GDP growth, more resilient than other OECD majors, remained in the 1.8 per cent to 2.1 per cent band with high unemployment and insufficient demand pull. Simply put, CY2011 was worse than CY 2010.

 

 

World Bank estimates show that world’s real GDP growth dropped from 4.1 per cent in CY 2010 to 2.7 per cent in CY 2011. Worse, it is projected to be lower at 2.5 per cent in CY 2012. More importantly, many of the larger and faster growing developing countries, which were important drivers of global growth in the early post-crisis period — generating almost 50 per cent of the increase in global import demand and GDP growth — have started to slow down. Real GDP growth in the developing countries as a whole has fallen from 7.4 per cent in CY 2010 to 6.1 per cent in CY 2011; and is expected to fall another 80 basis points to 5.3 per cent in CY 2012. Unbelievable as it may seem, China’s GDP growth for CY 2012 is estimated at 7.8 per cent — lower than what it has been for decades. And India will be lucky to achieve 6 per cent.

 

In this gloomy growth outlook, the business environment for the pulp and paper industry remains uncertain. The uncertainty stems from a general slowdown in demand and varying macroeconomic trends across different regions of the world. Many producers have been affected by the impact of deteriorating macroeconomic conditions in CY2011. However, the severity of such impacts have varied by regions.

 

In Asia-Pacific, China continues to outpace the market with a projected sector growth rate in the 7 per cent - 8 per cent range for CY2012. Although China’s short-term outlook is positive, the Chinese industry is facing profitability challenges due to increasing raw material cost and producer fragmentation. Europe is facing an economic recession, where producers are addressing to declining demand and overcapacity for paper products. North America is anticipating modest growth in CY2012 but several of the sub-sectors, such as coated free-sheet, are challenged.

 

In this milieu, there are two clear trends emerging in the global pulp and paper industry.

 

·         The Chinese paper industry, now the largest in the world, remains seriously nonintegrated. It buys pulp from the global market and produces paper. Given that pulp is sourced primarily by traders, this development has created a divide between the market pulp cycle and the paper cycle.

 

·         The market cycles of pulp and paper are getting shorter — and success in the industry is becoming largely dependent on effectively forecasting the highs and lows of these cycles and taking proactive buying and selling decisions.

 

Demand side conditions were difficult in financial year (FY) 2012, i.e. July 2011 to June 2012. Overall, paper prices were lower compared to FY2011 and there was contraction in demand for writing and printing paper. In this challenging environment, there were severe pressures on growth and margins.

 

To BILT’s advantage, its core market in India and the overseas Malaysian subsidiary’s (Sabah Forest Industries Sdn.Bhd. or SFI) market are both growing, although the rate of growth has slowed down. Not only did subject focus on reading market developments and taking proactive decisions, but also continued with its emphasis on improving operational excellence, developing and leveraging its distribution network to maintain leadership in its core markets and creating product differentiation to gain some market edge and better contributions.

 

The positive for the year was that subject continued to penetrate markets and grow its sales volumes, which contributed to topline growth even as sales realisations fell in FY2012. On the negative side, input costs were higher relative to sales, especially so for fuel and energy. Consequently, while consolidated net sales increased by 5.6 per cent from Rs. 44980.000 Millions in FY2011 to Rs. 47480.000 Millions in FY2012, Profit after tax (PAT) after minority interest decreased by 42 per cent from Rs. 2130.000 Millions in FY2011 to Rs. 1230.000 Millions in FY2012.

 

PAPER BUSINESS — INDIA

MARKET DEVELOPMENTS

 

Subject caters primarily to the writing and printing paper segment. It also has a presence in speciality paper and the tissue business.

 

At the global level, demand for writing and printing paper de-grew by 1.6 per cent in CY2011 versus CY2010. For the first six months of CY2012, demand was also down by (–) 1.8 per cent compared to the same period of the previous calendar year. There are, however, significant differences in this overall growth across the regions. In the first six months of CY2012, North America and Europe registered declining demand — of (–) 7.2 per cent) and (–)5.3 per cent, respectively. In contrast, Japan showed a growth of 1.5 per cent. And the Asian economies, including India and China, grew by 2.4 per cent.

 

Subject with its core market in India and Malaysia through SFI, is better positioned in growing markets. Nevertheless, it will have to continuously deal with various challenges emerging from contraction of the global pie

as a whole.

 

For advanced countries, the advent of digital media has affected paper demand. Thankfully, in countries like India there is still massive under penetration of paper usage. Per capita consumption of paper in India remains woefully low at 22 lbs. in 2010, compared to 770 lbs. in the United States and 363 lbs. in the European Union. To put it differently, while India has 15 per cent of the world’s population, it consumes less than 2 per cent of the world’s paper.

 

The good news is that the gap is being bridged over time with economic growth, greater prosperity and increased spread of education. Indeed, India’s per capita consumption of paper has almost doubled in the last decade and this growth is expected to continue.

 

Moreover, India is the 15th largest paper consumer in the world, which amounted to some 11.49 million metric tonnes per annum (MTPA) in FY2012. It is also one of the fastest growing markets in the world, with estimates suggesting a market size increase to 20 million MTPA by 2020.

 

Indian writing and printing paper manufacturers have witnessed high capacity utilisation levels over the past four years due to significant demand growth. This has led to large capacity expansions in recent years. Though the growth in paper demand is likely to sustain in near future, it may not be adequate to absorb all new capacities; and the expectations of an excess supply in the short term has already increased competitive pressures within the industry.

 

In such an environment of competitive growth, subject has adopted a well calibrated plan to maintain its leadership position across various sub-segments of the writing and printing paper industry in India. It also strategically exports some of its output to leverage global opportunities, develop a market position in some countries, and balance-out the supply in India. In FY2012, it exported to 80 countries across the globe — with exports accounting for over 12 per cent of subject’s volumes produced in India. Apart from this, subject also increased its penetration in the Malaysian market through its subsidiary SFI.

 

The Company’s writing and printing paper business can be divided into five categories coated wood-free, uncoated wood-free, copier paper, business stationery and creamwove. SUBJECT is also into the tissue paper business.

 

COATED WOOD-FREE

 

Consumption of coated wood-free in India increased by 23 per cent to 567,000 MTPA in FY2012, with SUBJECT continuing to maintain and develop its leadership position in the country. The category includes blade coated, air knife and cast coated products. While the high technology blade coated products grew by 18 per cent, air knife grew by a staggering 183 per cent. The spurt in air knife demand was due to a specific change in packaging regulation by government, which prompted a move away from plastic laminated packaging to paper laminated packaging. SUBJECT developed a special product especially aimed at this application and sold close to 43,500 MT in FY2012.

 

At one level, the coated market can be segregated into one-side coated (C1S) and both-sides coated (C2S). At another level, it is divided between paper products and board products. Within blade coated products, the C2S paper market grew by 8 per cent to 282,150 MTPA and the C2S board market grew by 12 per cent to 104,000 MTPA in FY2012.

 

While coated wood-free is a value added market, it is getting increasingly commoditised. SUBJECT counters this by introducing new products, enhancing customer service through a multiformat distribution network, and by continuously focusing on reducing costs through larger scale of operations and better efficiencies in production.

 

 

UNCOATED WOOD-FREE

 

During FY2012, the Indian uncoated market — comprising the Low Bright and Hi Bright segments — grew by 4 per cent to 1,130,000 MTPA. The market for uncoated wood-free in India is highly fragmented with a multitude of products and manufacturers. The segment is largely restricted to domestic players and price trends are set by domestic competition.

 

Subject continues to offer a wide range of products in the uncoated wood-free segment and remains the largest player in this space. While maintaining a commanding presence in each product category, it has laid greater importance on optimising its product mix for greater profitability. With this objective, the Company has been focusing on the higher value Hi Bright segment. Hi Bright, which accounts for around 61 per cent of the uncoated maplitho segment, grew by 8 per cent in FY2012, and subject maintained its leadership position in the category.

 

Most of subject’s major brands in this segment maintained their market shares. This includes Sunshine Super Printing Paper, which is used for offset printing and Three Aces Natural Shade Delux (T.A. NSD). A brand introduced by subject during 2010-11 called ‘BILT Magna Print’, has become the largest selling uncoated brand in India.

 

 

COPIER

 

Copier is a forward integration of the uncoated wood-free paper segment. This includes maplitho paper cut in sizes and having the characteristics best suited for desktop printing and copying.

 

This is a fast growing segment. The mill packed copier market in India grew by 12 per cent during FY2012 to 501,000 MTPA. The segment is characterised by intense competition with participation of all major players in the Indian paper industry. There are almost 40 brands at various price points. Subject has four major brands in the market — Copy Power, Image Copier, Ten on Ten and BILT Matrix — and has maintained its second spot in this highly competitive market. Moreover, with steady ramping up of production, the Company is well positioned to claim market leadership in this segment.

 

 

CREAMWOVE

 

This is a high volume, low value product segment. In volume terms, it is by far the largest segment in India. It is characterized by several producers, each with sub-optimal capacities, and a highly price sensitive market. This market is growing at around 1 per cent, and is estimated at 1.6 million MTPA in 2011-12. Subject has strategically maintained a minimal presence in this segment.

 

 

TISSUE AND HYGIENE

 

The business operations at BILT’s tissue division were fully migrated to Premier Tissues (India) Limited. During FY2012, various initiatives were undertaken at Premier Tissues that yielded results in terms of better revenues and profits. Consolidated domestic sales grew by 22 per cent over FY2011, which was significantly higher than the market growth. Operating profit of the consolidated business in FY2012 was about ten times that of FY2011. This was achieved through multiple interventions including price correction, improvements in the product mix and operational efficiency, and fixed cost reduction.

 

In an important strategic shift, exports were scaled down due to non-remunerative pricing and emphasis was laid on creating a larger bridgehead in the domestic market. The distribution networks in the North and Eastern regions have been revamped to meet long term growth objectives. Warehousing has been extended to Delhi, Kolkata and Ahmedabad to give the ‘Premier’ brand a truly pan-India presence.

 

It is worth noting that the subsidiary attained profitable growth despite several cost pressures. It had to absorb the increase in excise duty levied in the Union Budget 2011-12. Moreover, prices of all inputs like waste paper, packaging material and energy increased significantly. Devaluation of the rupee also led to higher cost.

 

 

OPERATIONS

 

As a consolidated entity, BILT’s paper manufacturing operation spans across five production units in India. These include Ballarpur (Maharashtra), Bhigwan (Maharashtra), Shree Gopal (Haryana), Sewa (Odisha) and Ashti (Maharashtra). The details of operational developments across the different Units are given below.

 

 

UNIT: BALLARPUR

 

During FY2012, Ballarpur produced 248,560 MT of paper. Capacity augmentation with the installation of a new state-of-the-art PM-7 paper machine — commissioned by Allimand of France — has come on stream. The new machine, with an installed capacity of 165,000 MTPA, produced 133,727 MT of paper in FY2012. This machine and the finishing section have enhanced quality, provided better packing and also reduced manpower use.

 

On the product development front, Ballarpur successfully manufactured new shades and products, including BILT Magna Print, Coating Base NCR, MG Poster for tea bags, copier grade paper for the stationery segment and wrapper paper. These have been tuned to meet customer needs in the domestic as well as export markets.

 

At the back-end, unbleached pulp production was 128,440 MTPA. Improved operational efficiencies resulted in better pulp quality with consistent brightness and increased pulp strength for better operations of paper machines. Pulp mill operations have been further optimised with change in raw material mix of wood and bamboo, which resulted in improved performance of paper machines and quality of paper produced. As a part of a fibre conservation programme, ash levels in paper have been increased

 

 

UNIT: BHIGWAN

 

During FY2012, the PM-1 line produced 140,483 MT of coated paper and coated boards. The new state-of-the-art PM-2 which started commercial production in March 2009 produced 138,832 MT of coated paper during 2011-12. Total production of the Unit was 279,315 MTPA, a decrease of 4,001 MTPA over FY2011. The reduction in production in terms of weight was due to increased production of lower grammage but high value added papers that yielded better financial returns.

 

The unit successfully developed several new products during the year. This included one side coated flexible packaging paper used for various pouches, high light fastness blue shade art cards used in playing card segment and paint shade cards.

 

Resource conservation continued to be a key focus area for Bhigwan. Process changes were undertaken, such as: fibre furnish optimisation, usage of BCTMP, filler increase in base paper resulting in higher ash content, optimisation of coating formulations and wet end chemicals helping in reduced usage of chemicals and fibre consumption. These operational improvements have helped offset the impact of rising input prices to a large extent. Use of paper grade BCTMP in furnish and increased ash level have not only reduced fibre consumption but also improved paper and board quality and reduced specific energy consumption.

 

During FY2012, the mill obtained ISO 50001-2011 energy management system certification. A number of energy conservation measures have resulted in reduction in specific energy consumption in spite of increased production of lower grammage but high value products. These efforts have been recognised at various national and international forums and the unit has received the following prestigious awards in FY2012.

 

 

ACHIEVEMENTS AND AWARDS:

 

·         Earth Care Award for Green House Gases (GHG) Mitigation (Large Enterprises) by JSW and the Times of India.

·         National Energy Conservation Award: First Prize in Pulp and Paper Sector, by Bureau of Energy Efficiency (Ministry of Power).

·         8th National Award for Excellence in Water Management: Received “Excellence Water Efficient Unit” Award for two categories i.e. within fence and beyond the fence by CII (Confederation of Indian Industry).

·         Indian Manufacturing Excellence Gold Certificate from Frost and Sullivan and The Economic Times.

UNIT: SHREE GOPAL

 

Production at Shree Gopal increased from 79,694 MT of paper in FY2011 to 80,167 MT of paper in FY2012. The unit undertook various quality enhancing initiatives to improve customer servicing and satisfaction. Some of these include:

 

·         Development of REB Moon Beam for digital printing, Chromo Paper , 90 GSM, Art Board, 350 GSM, Natural Shade Paper (High Bulk and Smooth finish) and High Bulk 1.80 Plus.

·         Installed new process technology, such as alkaline size paper, polymeric surface sizing and introduction of the third generation oxidant technology (AMOX) for its biocide programme.

·         Improved product quality for customer satisfaction, such as better stiffness and opaqueness in BCB and opacity of uncoated paper.

·         Reduced bleaching chemical by introducing sulphuric acid at the pulp mill.

·         Introduced anthraquinone and surfactant in pulping to reduce active alkali consumption.

·         Installed an in-house developed new evaporator body in recovery.

 

In the area of environment protection, Shree Gopal has continuously ensured compliance with ‘CREP’ norms and achieved levels of treated effluent and boiler stacks emissions — well below the norms laid down by Haryana State Pollution Control Board. Overall, water consumption in the mills reduced by 2.5 per cent per MT of paper produced.

 

Specific energy consumption per ton of paper manufactured was reduced by 4 per cent. This was achieved by taking modifying program in PLC, optimisation of equipment, modification in the steam condensate system, replacing inefficient motors with energy efficient motors, and installing variable frequency drives.

 

As a part of the management commitment towards system implementation in FY2012, Shree Gopal continued to maintain the following certifications:

 

·         Quality system ISO 9001-2008.

·         ISO 14001-2004 certification.

·         OSHAS 18001-2007 certification.

·         FSC – COC certification.

 

 

UNIT: SEWA

 

During FY2012, Sewa produced 69,525 MT of paper, which was 2,265 MT more than the output in FY2011. Own pulp production also increased by 2,626 MT. The unit undertook various quality initiatives for new product development and to improve customer servicing and satisfaction. These resulted in:

 

·         Achieving OTIF score consistently of 96.5 per cent during FY2012.

·         Reducing customer complaints by 37 per cent in FY2012.

·         Replacing 100 per cent talc by PCC for product quality improvement, improved opacity, brightness and bulk.

·         Developing new brighter shade of Image Copier and TOT grade as per market demand.

 

Significant improvements were achieved in resource conservation including:

 

·         Fibre loss reduction.

·         Reduction on ETP load by improving chemical recovery efficiency.

·         Reduction in relative consumption of utilities like steam, power and water.

·         Optimisation of the raw material mix.

 

In terms of environment protection, Sewa has continuously ensured compliance with ‘CREP’ norms and achieved all the levels of treated effluent and boiler stack emissions as per the norms laid by Odisha State Pollution Control Board. During FY2012, the various initiatives taken to improve the environment include:

 

·         Installation of AAQMS to monitor ambient air quality, ambient temperature and wind parameters.

·         Commissioning of cooling tower to reduce influent temperature.

·         Identifying potential users / farmers for the use of purged out lime mud for agricultural lands in consultation with District Industries Centre (DIC).

·         MOU with brick manufacturers for free disposal of fly ash.

 

The unit achieved the following certification in FY2012:

 

·         Re-certification of ISO 9001-2008.

·         ISO 14001-2004 Certification.

·         OHSAS 18001-2007 Certification.

·         FSC-COC certification.

 

 

UNIT: ASHTI

 

In FY2012, Ashti produced 46,744 MT of paper, which was 6,555 MT lower than in FY2011. The lower production is due to higher downtime, adverse product mix and reduced market demand. Equally, the unit has improved product quality as well as reduced cost. In addition, there has been improved efficiency of the primary centricleaner pump to a higher capacity, which resulted in the improvement of product quality. These developments, coupled with other quality improvement initiatives have resulted in substantial reduction of customer complaints by 50 per cent in FY2012.

 

In the area of environment protection, the unit has successfully optimised the efficiency of electrostatic precipitator (ESP) to achieve suspended particulate matter at 50 mg/NM3, which is well below the statutory norms. It has also been able to reduce coal consumption by using bamboo dust as non-conventional fuel. Fibre losses from the plant have been further controlled to reduce the sludge generation and ETP load.

 

The unit catered to the office supplies and retail business by producing around 6,965 MT of paper for various brands like Ten on Ten, Matrix Premium Multi Purpose Paper (MMPP), BILT Copy Power Export, Matrix Premium Digital Paper (MPDP) and P3 segment. A testimony to the unit’s improvement in product quality is the success achieved in exporting paper to 30 countries across the globe, where the products are competing with international brands and meet high quality norms. The focus was to maximise the export order in sheet and reels by improving the quality.

 

As part of management commitment towards systems implementation, in FY2012, the unit obtained recertification of QMS ISO 9001:2008, EMS ISO 14001:2004 and ISO 18001:2007 of OHSAS. It has also obtained consent to operate from MPCB for three years up to December 2014.

 

 

PAPER BUSINESS – SFI,

MALAYSIA

 

In addition to the Indian market, subject directly operates in the Malaysian market through its subsidiary, SFI. While there is some level of integration in the operations of the two companies, from a market perspective, SFI manufactures and sells paper in Malaysia and its neighbouring countries.

 

The uncoated wood-free surface-sized market in Malaysia is estimated at around 235,000 MTPA, where SFI is still a small player that is gradually augmenting its market share. The uncoated wood-free un-surface sized market in Malaysia is estimated to be around 62,000 MTPA. Here, SFI held a major 57 per cent market share in FY2012.

 

During FY2012, paper production from the unit was 116,118 MT, which is about 12 per cent lower than FY2011. The lower paper production was mainly due to the project tiein shutdown taken for pulp mill up-gradation from 12 September 2011 to 5 November 2011. The shutdown was longer than what was originally planned due to project related obstacles. Out of the total paper production, 28,816 MTPA was for export orders. The bleached pulp production of 94,767 BD MTPA was 5 per cent lower than FY2011. Out of the total 105,297 AD MTPA of bleached pulp production 6,050 AD MTPA market pulp was manufactured for sale.

 

In operations, the following major initiatives were undertaken at SFI during FY2012:

 

·         Energy savings by optimisation of refining energy in paper machine area to the tune of 15 kwh/metric ton. Replacement of rotary siphons at paper machines with energy efficient stationary siphons to save steam consumption by 0.05 metric tons/ton of paper.

·         Savings in caustic consumption in caustic soda/chlorine plant (CSCP) by replacing caustic soda with milk of lime by producing calcium hypochlorite.

·         Savings in power consumption at integrated chlorine dioxide plant by replacing one bank of new chlorate cell.

·         Savings in power consumption through installation of variable frequency drives at key areas of the mill.

·         Reduction in water consumption by 29 per cent per metric ton of paper produced.

·         On the fibrous raw material front, a major achievement has been the introduction of mobile chipper in December 2011 to salvage small logs and wastes in the concession area.

 

Regarding its plantation activities, SFI has continued to increase its scale of operations by directly employing labour. This included an addition of some 600 workers during the FY2012 bringing the total to 850. In FY2012, around 5,000 hectares (ha) was planted, which is a 20 per cent increase over FY2011. In June 2012, planting exceeded 1,300 ha, a record for planting in a single month since SFI’s inception. The target for FY2013 is 10,000 ha. SFI is well on track to achieve this.

 

Construction of the new central nursery at the mill premises has now started and it is expected that it will be commissioned by the end of CY2012. This state-of-the-art facility will reduce biological risks, save costs and ensure that there will be sufficient quality plants for the current planting programme. It will also have facilities to produce planting material from cuttings and allow SFI to capture productivity gains available from clonal forestry plan similar to those obtained by subject’s extension programme in India.

 

SFI was awarded a compliance certificate by the Sabah Forestry Department for FY2011. In early 2012, it upgraded its Smart Wood Verified Legal Origin (VLO) certificate to the more demanding Verified Legal Compliance (VLC) certificate for its established plantations and its Natural Forest Management (NFM). SFI also retained its Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Controlled Wood certification for its NFM Area. Regarding the status of the expansion in the pulp mill project, all installed equipment were successfully commissioned and commercial production commenced on 29 June 2012. Ramp up of the pulp mill production is in progress. While half of this mills capacity is meant for internal use at SFI, the other half is to be exported to India to feed some of subject’s paper manufacturing machines.

 

 

OFFICE SUPPLY AND STATIONERY

 

BUSINESS (OSSB)

 

The Indian office supplies and stationery market is estimated to be in the excess of Rs. 100000.000 Millions and is growing at 25 per cent per annum. Though it is still dominated by the unorganised sector, the organized players are rapidly increasing their footprints and adding new dimensions to this category. At its given size and growth rate, the office supplies and stationery market — driven by increased thrust in education, rising income levels, increasing urbanisation and favourable demographics — throws up a many opportunities for value addition by the organised players.

 

Subject continues to be an active player in the OSSB in India. The Company’s business has been growing at a CAGR of 25 per cent for the past five years, and registered annual revenue of Rs. 2750.000 Millions in FY2012. The growth drivers for BILT’s OSSB have been its robust range of differentiated products, portfolio enrichment, coverage expansion, efficient and responsive supply chain, and continuous brand building initiatives.

 

The OSSB product portfolio includes a wide range of paper products – Value Added Papers (VAP) and Copier as well as an array of stationery items for schools and offices. Brands in the VAP category are speciality paper products, which have carved out a niche market positioning. In the VAP category, Royal Executive Bond (REB) and Matrix Multipurpose Paper continued to register strong growth during the year.

 

In the Copier category, Subject’s brands such as Copy Power, Image Copier and Ten on Ten recorded impressive growth with strong market presence.

 

OSSB’s stationery business continues to make significant strides in strengthening its portfolio through extensions and new launches in the Executive and Student Stationery categories. The business rolls out its product offerings under the Matrix and Ten on Ten brands across different geographies while maintaining focus on addressing various consumer benefits.

 

In the Executive stationery segment, the market standing of the Matrix brand has significantly improved through consumerled product differentiation, focus on quality, strong trade marketing and distribution network and enhanced brand building efforts. Use of digital, transit and print media and clutter breaking advertisements helped improving the brand salience.

 

In the student stationery segment, portfolio enrichment has been driven through the launch of Ten on Ten and Matrix Junior in new and attractive cover designs. Their innovative, first-to-market designs, based on character randing of popular children characters like Barbie, Ben10, Hot wheels, Disney Princess, Mickey Mouse, and Spiderman, has created excitement among school-going children and has significantly enhanced the consumer franchise of the brands.

 

Subject’s OSSB has been awarded the ‘Product of the Year’ for stationery product categories for the last four years. The award is given for excellence in product innovation and is based on a consumer survey of over 25,000 respondents, across India.

 

The business continues to invest in distribution infrastructure to support large scale distribution as well as to improve reach and availability. The products are marketed across India through a well-established network for distribution through 350 distributors, reaching in excess of 40,000 retail outlets. OSSB also strengthened its export operations and supplied to developed and developing market, even becoming a supplier to global retailers, like Coles and Office Depot.

 

During FY2012, the business witnessed inflationary pressures in input costs. These pressures were largely mitigated through a combination of improvements in product and process efficiencies, smart sourcing and supply chain initiatives.

 

OSSB’s continuous transition to higher value-added products, its obsession with quality, backed by strong marketing and distribution network have helped develop a robust business with an outlook for further growth and scale.

 

 

RETAIL: P3

 

Subject made its foray in organized retail business around three years ago through P3, which stands for Paper, Print and Pen. Though relatively small in size, it is a unique and successful combination of world class stationery merchandise, convenience of buying and price integrity. It operates in both the Business to Business (B2B) and the Business to Consumer (B2C) space. In fact, the B2B arm has a product portfolio in excess of 5,000 SKUs encapsulating categories like Copier, Office stationery, IT and Technology products, gifting and print solutions.

 

Today P3 positions itself as a preferred choice of professionals and provides an array of office supplies and consumer merchandise to over 600 companies across sectors like pharmaceuticals, power, banking, automobile, FMCG, consumer durables, aviation and education.

 

Subject’s proficiency in paper is mirrored in its print solutions business with a robust customer base of over 100 companies providing a wide spectrum of specialised and customised printing solutions.

 

Over the last year, P3 has consolidated its retail stores and has rapidly expanded its B2B footprints, thereby maintaining a healthy growth trajectory. Revenue for FY2012 was around Rs. 750.000 Millions.

 

With its growing understanding of consumer insights, relevant and robust product portfolio, strong customer network and responsive supply chain, the business is well poised to actively participate in the emerging growth opportunities in B2B segment.

 

 

PULP BUSINESS

 

While pulp produced in most of the units is internally used in the manufacturing of paper, the Company’s Kamalapuram Unit is the only one that caters to outside customers. It primarily produces and supplies rayon grade pulp to the viscose fibre industry. It also manufactures some paper grade pulp for balancing its production. FY2012 was one of the best performance years for revenues and profits of this business.

 

 

UNIT: KAMALAPURAM

 

During FY2012, the unit produced 88,719 MT of rayon grade pulp — an increase of 724 MT over the previous year. It has improved and sustained high level of quality norms set by its customers by improving and modifying the processes at every level. In the process, it has successfully fulfilled the pulp demand of new customers such as Kesoram Rayon and Century Rayon against their requirement in different quality and sizes.

 

There were several system improvement and plant sustainability projects to improve overall efficiency of the plant. These include modification of evaporator bodies (mild steel tubes with stainless steel tubes), thereby increasing throughput and steam economy; updating and fine tuning of DD washer operations resulting in increase of recovery efficiency from 92.6 per cent to 94.04 per cent; de-bottlenecking of the pulp cleaning system; optimisation of chemical usage through various process improvements such as commissioning of a new RCC C/D Tower; and rehabilitation / strengthening of the plant structures under a programme called Project Savera.

 

Environmental issues have always been a focus area of the mill. As a major initiative, the cooking operation was changed by re-using pre-hydrolysis liquor — which was earlier going to ETP — in order to improve the quality of the final effluent.

 

Resource conservation continued to be a key focus area. Significant improvement was made in recycling waste/ treated water in the process with the help of system modification and technological improvements, which has reduced specific water consumption by 3 per cent per MT of pulp. There was also a savings of 18 kwh/MT of pulp saved in power consumption through energy conservation jobs like stoppage of warm water pumps and installation of variable frequency drives.

 

In addition, Kamalapuram has taken several measures for system improvement enhance overall performance. These include:

 

·         Re-commissioning of the old 5.6 MW turbine generator with in-house expertise thereby reducing the dependence on grid power.

·         New electrolyser cell assembly was installed in place of old one, which increased the production rate and also resulted in lower power consumption.

·         Implementation of two blow tank operation with individual blow lines to reduce steam consumption.

·         Old clarifier was renovated and converted as tertiary clarifier which helped in improving final effluent discharge norms.

·         ETP upgraded by installing new systems like on-line ambient monitoring station, stack monitoring, and treated effluent buffer guard pond.

·         Improved security vigilance in the mills and the colony.

 

The unit is IMS certified for Quality, Environment and Safety (ISO:9001, ISO:14001 and ISO:18001) and has taken initiative to achieve EnMS Certification (ISO- 50001).

 

 

CAPACITY EXPANSION SFI

 

The expansion for additional production of 120,000 ADT per annum of pulp has been completed successfully and the capacity is under stabilisation and ramp-up. The first consignment of 7,000 tonnes of pulp was dispatched from Malaysia in July 2012 and regular shipments are expected to commence soon. The respective suppliers of individual sections of the plant are expected to establish the guaranteed throughput and related design parameters by August 2012.

 

 

UNIT: BALLARPUR

 

The pulp mill modernisation project at Ballarpur is in an advanced stage of construction. Most of the major shipments have reached the site or have been erected. Section-wise pre-commissioning trials of the pulp mill modernisation is expected to progressively commence from December 2012.

 

 

INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)

 

Subject completed a major upgrade of its connectivity between its head office, its data centre, all manufacturing units and regional sales offices. The network bandwidth between all these locations was doubled to ensure seamless and secure traffic of organisational data. The Company also completed the upgrade of base infrastructure, as part of its exercise of phasing out old equipment and technology that had begun in the last financial year. This included tripling storage area network capacity, replacing network switches and implementation of security processes and gateways in the quest to keep the operations secure, scalable, modern and cost effective.

 

The objective of more automation, improved employee productivity and efficiency as well as requisite compliance was achieved by rolling out new applications and dashboards in the areas of Human Resource Management, Export Management, Imports, Finance Management and Sales/Marketing in FY2012.

 

 

FINANCIAL REVIEW
